예정대로 알티튜드 고 카드가 2만 포인트의 사인업 보너스를 가지고 오늘 출시 되었습니다. (The Altitude Connect will be released later in the summer)

 

연회비가 없음에도 불구하고 2만 점의 사인업 보너스와 식당 4x적립, $15 연간 스트리밍 크레딧, 12개월 무이자 APR & BT 등의 혜택이 좋아 보이네요. 

그리고 DoC에 따르면 이 카드는 알티튜드 리저브와 달리 US Bank와 별도의 relationship이 없어도 승인을 내어 준다고 합니다. AYOR

예정대로 아래 두 카드는 6/8에 출시된다고 합니다.

그리고 알티튜드 리저브와 달리 Altitude Go card 카드 승인을 받기위해 따로 유뱅과의 relationship이 없어도 된다고 하네요. (Altitude Connect card 카드는 아직 알려지지 않음)

streaming credit. Grocery and Restaurant delivery services등의 베네핏과 적립률등 업데이트는 아래 카드 설명에 추가 되어 있습니다

• 위에 두 카드 출시일이 6/8/2020으로 변경되었으나 코로나19에 따라 다시 변경될 수 있다도 합니다.

• 두 카드 모두 해외 수수료 면제입니다.
• 아쉽게도 이 두카드의 포인트는 1.5cents per point를 주는 알티튜드 리저브 포인트와 합치지는 못한다고 하네요.

• No foreign transaction fees on either card.
• At card launch the signup bonuses mentioned below will only be available in branch. (No mention about needing a prior relationship, so should work for anyone in branch.) The card will launch online as well, but we don’t know if/what the signup bonus will be.

-----------------------------------

3/9/2020

오늘부터 유뱅 사이트에서 Flexperks, Cash 365 카드들이 사라졌습니다.

새 알티튜드 카드 소식은 들리는대로 업데이트 하겠습니다.

Looks like it happened - U.S. Bank Flexperks Travel and Select+, as well as the Cash 365 Amex are gone from the website.

 

------------------------------------

3/6/2020

새로 대체되는 US Bank 새 카드가 공개 되었습니다.

1. Altitude Go card with no annual fee card
2. Altitude Connect card with a $95 annual fee

Altitude Reserve 까지 해서 총 세가지 시리즈의 알티튜드 카드 라인업이 되겠네요.

 

   * 유뱅 카드에 관심 있으시다면 체킹/세이빙 어카운트 부터 열어 놓으셨다가 카드 신청하시는게 승인율을 높히는 방법이라고 합니다.

 

아마도 3월안에 출시가 될거 같고

아직 새로운 카드들에 대한 사인업 오퍼는 공개되지 않았는데 소식 들리는대로 업데이트 하겠습니다.

 

------------------------------------

유뱅에 뭔가 변화가 생기려나 봅니다. 앞서 전해드린 유뱅 알티튜드 리저브 카드의 개선 소식이 있었구요.

(카드 개선) US Bank Altitude Reserve : 새 베네핏 5x 포인트 적립 on Prepaid Hotels & Car Rental

 

그리고 이제 아래 4개의 카드가 3월9일부터 단종 될 예정이고 이 카드들을 대체할 두가지의 새로운 카드들이 출시 된다고 합니다.

새로운 카드들의 이름도 Altitude 변경 될거라고 하네요.

그 외에 아직 새 카드에 대한 정보는 없지만 소식 들리는대로 업데이트 하겠습니다.

 

1. U.S. Bank Flexperks Travel Visa (Consumer).
2. U.S. Bank Flexperks Select+ American Express.
3. The Gold Flexperks will apparently be staying around for a bit longer.
4. I believe the U.S. Bank Cash 365 American Express will be discontinued as well.

Currently, these cards are still available for signup.

The information in this post has not been confirmed with US Bank, but the source seems reliable.
